I used to have some swrve woolen 3/4s way back when in 2007. There was some kind of mistake in the factory with the stitching so a 34 fit like a 32. Picked them up for £40 instead of the usual £120, and loved them to bits (see photo).
Unfortunately after several months of washing they for some reason shrank (maybe i washed them too hot or something), but with a deep sadness i had to throw them out.
Last week I was perusing swrve.co.uk as I had a severe shortage of trousers. I bought some of the skinny fit 3/4s, cos they were the cheapest, and by golly gosh and damn are they the comfiest things I have ever worn?! Yes.
Now I also own some of the jeans, gratifyingly I seem to fit a 30" waist, although they are a little tight around the thigh. Ok, very tight. I'm hoping that 2% lycra will come into play after a wash or two. I am looking to buy another pair, maybe of the WWR trousers, but I want to see how the jeans feel after a wash before i decide on a 30 or a 32.
Man I have never been so happy with an item of clothing since... well since 2007 when i bought the wool 3/4s!
